Have you actually read the plea deal that I linked to signed by both him and his attourney? He has got a reduced sentence.

You have to ask what kind of person would even hire a lawyer like that?
And how dumb is the Federal Judge who found Cohen guilty of something that isn’t a crime?

What non crime did he plead guilty to?
The Federal Judge didn't find him guilty of anything, he and his attourney signed the plea agreement on the basis he was in fact guilty.
I suggest you also read the plea deal I linked to earlier. Especially paragraph 2 page 6.
